Lila Bouzar, Martin Michael Müller, René Messina, Bernd Nöding, Sarah Köster, Hervé Mohrbach, Igor M. Kulić |
Intermediate filaments are the least explored among the large cytoskeletal elements.
We show here that they display conformational anomalies in narrow microfluidic channels.
Their unusual behavior can be understood as the consequence of a previously undetected, large scale
helically curved superstructure. Confinement in a channel orders the otherwise soft, strongly
fluctuating helical filaments and enhances their structural correlations, giving rise to experimentally
detectable, strongly oscillating tangent correlation functions. We propose an explanation for the detected
intrinsic curving phenomenon - an elastic shape instability that we call autocoiling. The mechanism
involves self-induced filament buckling via a surface stress located at the outside of the
cross-section. The results agree with ultrastructural findings and rationalize for the commonly observed
looped intermediate filament shapes. Beyond curvature, explaining the molecular origin of the detected helical
torsion remains an interesting challenge.

![](grafiken/29confinementtorusadhesion_icon.png) | Confining a fluid membrane vesicle of toroidal topology in an adhesive hard sphere
Lila Bouzar, Ferhat Menas, Martin Michael Müller |
We discuss how the equilibrium shapes of a confined toroidal fluid membrane vesicle
change when an adhesion between membrane and confining sphere is taken into account. The case without adhesion
was studied in Ref. [1]. Different types of solution were found and assembled in a phase diagram as a function of area
and reduced volume of the membrane. Depending on the degree of confinement the vesicle is either free, in contact along
a circle (contact-circle solutions) or on a surface (contact-area solutions). All solutions without adhesion are up-down symmetric.
When the container is adhesive, the phase diagram is altered and new kinds of solution without up-down symmetry are found.
For increasing values of adhesion the region of contact-circle solutions shrinks until it vanishes completely from the phase diagram.

![](grafiken/22rotation_icon.png) | Whirling skirts and rotating cones
Jemal Guven, J. A. Hanna, Martin Michael Müller |
Steady, dihedrally symmetric patterns with sharp peaks may be observed on a spinning skirt, lagging behind the material flow of the fabric. These qualitative features are captured with a minimal model of traveling waves on an inextensible, flexible, generalized-conical sheet rotating about a fixed axis. Conservation laws are used to reduce the dynamics to a quadrature describing a particle in a three-parameter family of potentials. One parameter is associated with the stress in the sheet, aNoether is the current associated with rotational invariance, and the third is a Rossby number which indicates the relative strength of Coriolis forces. Solutions are quantized by enforcing a topology appropriate to a skirt and a particular choice of dihedral symmetry. A perturbative analysis of nearly axisymmetric cones shows that Coriolis effects are essential in establishing skirt-like solutions. Fully non-linear solutions with three-fold symmetry are presented which bear a suggestive resemblance to the observed patterns.

![](grafiken/20epole_icon.png) | Dipoles in thin sheets
Jemal Guven, J. A. Hanna, Osman Kahraman, Martin Michael Müller |
A flat elastic sheet may contain pointlike conical singularities that carry a metrical "charge" of Gaussian curvature. Adding such elementary defects to a sheet allows one to make many shapes, in a manner broadly
analogous to the familiar multipole construction in electrostatics. However, here the underlying field theory is non-linear,
and superposition of intrinsic defects is non-trivial as it must respect the immersion of the resulting surface in three
dimensions. We consider a "charge-neutral" dipole composed of two conical singularities of opposite sign.
Unlike the relatively simple electrostatic case, here there are two distinct stable minima and an infinity of unstable equilibria.
We determine the shapes of the minima and evaluate their energies in the thin-sheet regime where bending dominates
over stretching. Our predictions are in surprisingly good agreement with experiments on paper sheets.

![](grafiken/19confinement_icon.png) | Fluid membrane vesicles in confinement
Osman Kahraman, Norbert Stoop, Martin Michael Müller |
We numerically study the morphology of fluid membrane vesicles with prescribed volume and surface area in confinement.
For spherical confinement we observe axisymmetric invaginations that transform into ellipsoidal invaginations a the area of the
vesicle is increased, followed by a transition into stomatocyte-like shapes.
We provide a detailed analysis of the axisymmetric shapes and investigate the effect of the spontaneous curvature of the membrane
as a possible mechanism for shape regulation. We show that the observed morphologies are stable under small geometric deformations
of the confinement. The results could help to understand the role of mechanics in the complex folding patterns of biological membranes.

![](grafiken/15casimir_icon.png) | Interface-mediated interactions: Entropic forces of curved membranes
Pierre Gosselin, Hervé Mohrbach, Martin Michael Müller |
Particles embedded in a fluctuating interface experience forces and torques
mediated by the deformations and by the thermal fluctuations of the medium.
Considering a system of two cylinders bound to a fluid membrane we show that
the entropic contribution enhances the curvature-mediated repulsion between
the two cylinders. This is contrary to the usual attractive Casimir force in
the absence of curvature-mediated interactions. For a large distance between
the cylinders, we retrieve the renormalization of the surface tension of a
flat membrane due to thermal fluctuations.

![](grafiken/04tip_icon.jpg) | How to determine local elastic properties of lipid bilayer membranes
from atomic-force-microscope measurements: A theoretical analysis
Davood Norouzi, Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno |
Measurements with an atomic force microscope (AFM) offer a direct way to
probe elastic properties of lipid bilayer membranes locally: provided
the underlying stress-strain relation is known, material parameters such as
surface tension or bending rigidity may be deduced.
In a recent experiment a pore-spanning membrane was poked with an AFM tip,
yielding a linear behavior of the force-indentation curves. A theoretical
model for this case is presented here which describes these curves in the
framework of Helfrich theory. The linear behavior of the measurements is
reproduced if one neglects the influence of adhesion between tip and membrane.
Including it via an adhesion balance changes the situation significantly:
force-distance curves cease to be linear, hysteresis and nonzero detachment
forces can show up. The characteristics of this rich scenario are discussed
in detail in this article.
